Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

ATVs and titles

I bid on and won a 2001 Polaris ATV on ebay. The vehicle is in Ohio; we live in Virginia. The owner tells us he has a Bill of Sale from previous owner, but not a title, as it was unnecessary in Ohio to register off road ATVs until mid 2001. Is this true? If we get a Bill of Sale, can we take it to DMV and get a title in Virginia? How do we check the VIN number on an ATV to be sure it is clear?

Re: ATVs and titles

The Virginia law on ATV titling also changed recently. My best guess is VA DMV will issue you a certificate of title. You could attempt to look up the answer on dmvnow.com (VA DMV site) or google for Code of Virginia.
